jQuery select by Name

jQuery select by name or jQuery element selector allows us to find all HTML elements with the given tag name. You can do any sort of manipulation like animating or any other special effects after selecting the element and that change will take effect in all the elements of the same type or tag name. Earlier we learned using jQuery select by id and jQuery select by class.

In this example, you can see the selector $("div") is selected to change the CSS style. The only change in the code modified all the div elements uniformly. This is the strength of jQuery selector by name.

Below image shows the output produced by above HTML page.

Therefore, in the case of enforcing a uniform behavior on html elements, you can use jQuery select by name in the code.
